Mindblowing Educational Trip
If you want to get a first hand impression of how life FEELS for the people in Israel after october 7th 2023, turn to Ofer and his colleagues. He is an excellent friendly Tour Guide with an enormous knowledge. It was so interesting to listen to his lectures on the bus while driving through this amazing Holy Land. It’s a big difference to be on site and experience the daily life in Israel which has dramatically changed for them. Some things can’t be transmitted via world wide web or TV and this is HUMAN EMOTION! Encounters with the people there in real life, THIS is it and it’s so important. I was deeply moved and sometimes shocked of the places I saw with my own eyes and words I heard with my own ears….. You become silent immediately… Thx we had you, Ofer and Team

Top Jerusalem Tour
A great experience! We had a very exciting tour of Jerusalem with Ofer. Ofer’s enthusiastic manner made the time fly by and gave us a better understanding of the city’s history and culture. We can highly recommend a private tour, preferably at the beginning of your trip to Jerusalem.
Benjamin P
Fun, Informative And In-Depth Israel Trip
Ofer is a top guide with immense knowledge in all areas. He knows the country, the people and the language and can easily guide a large group (47) through Israel for 10 days. He is entertaining and flexible in case of spontaneous difficulties. Highly recommended.
Katharina P
Top Guide
In October 2022, we traveled to Israel for ten days with a tour group of 47 people. We were looked after by Ofer Moghadam in an absolutely professional and first-class manner. His vast knowledge of history, politics and archaeology opened our hearts to Israel. With his friendly and open manner, he contributed to a very good atmosphere in the whole tour group. We would be delighted to travel with Ofer again on our next trip to Israel.
Lilo G
Unique And Unforgettable Experience
The day trip with Ofer was not only incredibly moving and above all interesting, but also incredibly individual and eventful in a way that no other guide would have done. I am so grateful for this day and will never forget it in my life! Thank you Ofer.
Christina L
Ofer Makes The Tour Unforgettable
On our trip, we realized right from the start that tour guiding is the right job for Ofer! He helps wherever he can, answers every question as well as he can, is also really good at describing and explaining things and you can tell straight away that he is interested in the history of Israel. You could learn a lot from him. But what was somehow the best and most important thing for us as a group was that he not only contributed a lot to the atmosphere “on the job”, but also “as a person”. And also wanted to have a certain charisma on the group, which made the trip what we now like to remember it as.
Adina H
Amazing Time In Israel

Lulu L
Successful Trip Through Israel
Ofer guided our tour group through Israel for several days. I felt safe and well accompanied at all times during the trip. The daily schedule was clearly structured and communicated and was summarized again in the evening. There were never long waiting times between the program points. Ofer speaks perfect German and has a very pleasant voice that is a pleasure to listen to. He had an answer to every question and if he couldn’t answer directly, he knew where to look. He was always open to questions of all kinds. He is incredibly knowledgeable and shares his knowledge with his listeners in an exciting way. You can sense his own genuine enthusiasm for the country and its people – it’s incredibly infectious!
Rahel Z
Ofer Does His Job With Passion And Heart
First of all, Ofer is a really nice guy and loves to show the beauty of his country! He was a great support to us during the shoot and helped us in every situation. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the sights and history of the area, but he was also passionate about helping us work. His enthusiasm was infectious and spurred us on to get the most out of the tour. What made this tour truly exceptional were the little details that made our day special. Ofer knew the best places to film and eat and showed us the hidden secrets that only the locals know. I would recommend Ofer to anyone who wants to make the most of their trip. Thank you so much, dear Ofer, for this unforgettable experience! I would choose you as a guide again anytime and hope that many more people will have the pleasure of discovering the beauty of Israel with you.
Barbara L
Life Without Ofer Is Not Recommended
We have been traveling with Ofer in Israel and the West Bank for almost a month for a TV production. We didn’t know him before, but he came highly recommended. Now, after four weeks of full contact from early in the morning until late at night – only at night do we usually leave him alone – I can happily and with full conviction say: Ofer is premium de luxe! And super sababa! One Ofer child, so to speak. We in television have been a close-knit, well-rehearsed group for decades. When we met Ofer, he was the new kid. The other one. The hired man. But only for four minutes. After five minutes, we thought: Oops, he’s really nice. After an hour, he was part of the team. After a month, you want to modify a Loriot quote: A life without Ofer is feasible, but not recommendable. I can fully subscribe to that, at least for the Israel phase of my life.
Christian D
Brilliant Tour Through Israel
Our trip through Israel was a great experience. Our guide Ofer was always friendly, happy to answer questions and created an extremely good atmosphere. He was also able to provide a lot of background information about the history of Israel and the country of Israel today. He was always flexible and pointed out important things to bear in mind when traveling in Israel. All in all, I can only recommend him as a guide.
Lukas W
Thankful For Unforgettable Moments
Ofer is the perfect tour guide for an unforgettable time in Israel! I was lucky enough to have Ofer as my tour guide in Israel and it was simply fantastic! With his humorous and relaxed manner, he made sure that my trip was unforgettable. Not only did he provide us with a lot of interesting information, but he also managed to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Ofer always made sure that we felt comfortable and took time to answer our questions. His enthusiasm for the country and his knowledge of the different places was impressive. At the same time, he managed to keep the fun factor high and make us laugh with his humor. If you are looking for a tour guide in Israel who is informative, funny, relaxed and warm, then I can highly recommend Ofer. He exceeded my expectations and I am very grateful to him for the unforgettable moments he gave me during my trip. Thank you, Ofer!

We spent five weeks on the road with Ofer. Our summary: Five stars de luxe. He offered everything we had ideally hoped for in advance: Knowledge, wit, dedication. He is punctual and reliable.

Ofer – The Champion Among Tour Guides
Thank you Ofer for the great tour through the Holy Land! You brought every place, every stone to life and gave us impressive and interesting insights into your great country Israel. Above all, you not only showed us the typical “tourist spots”, but also took us to “normal” places of everyday life and thus showed us a variety of perspectives. Your humorous, unifying manner brought us together as a group and gave us an unforgettable time. I very much hope that this was not the last trip with you! Ofer – the Champion among Tour Guides. Best regards from Salzburg.

Nate N
Fully Satisfied And Highly Recommended
Excellent tour guide. We made a group tour with a lot cultural and holy locations, and Ofer was very good prepared and guided us with a lot of information and knowledge about all historic and religious places. We visited in six full days: Jerusalem, Samaria, Desert of Judea, Golan Heights, Galilee and Lake Genezareth with many single stops & hot spots. Finally we closed the journey with a night in Tel Aviv. He is perfect in German, English and Hebrew language and knows his country and the people very well. We are fully satisfied and will never forget this trip. Explicit recommendation!
Thilo R
Professional Tour Guide
We travelled as family with six person on a tour with Ofer. My whole family loved the kind of Ofers explanations. It was a honor to travel eight days with this likeable man through the Holy Land. He understands to present his knowledge in a useful and suitable manner. Politically sensitive topics he explained in a considerate way. That is what you expect of professionell guide. Only sometimes he used the German schwäbisch accent. That was very funny, because we lived also in the schwäbisch area. Ofer has skills to make a tour interesting, fascinating and unforgettable in a good way.
Thorsten M
A Wonderful Experience
Ofer impresses with his extremely comprehensive knowledge of politics and religion. His lecture is very lively and you can listen to him for hours. He also has a great deal of wit and charm.
Elisabeth K
Outstanding Private Tour Of Jerusalem
We spent a whole day with Ofer in Jerusalem. We had agreed on the sights in preparation for our trip. Although our program was very ambitious, he managed to present us with a plan that allowed us to visit Jerusalem’s sights in a very informative way. He was able to respond very well to spontaneous requests and provide background information on all the topics that interested us. We can recommend Ofer unreservedly!
Hans-Jörg S

The Best Tour Guide Ever
Ofer is the best tour guide I have ever had. He is very competent, can explain very well and conveys the content perfectly. In addition, Ofer is very close to the visitor and responds to individual wishes and interests and always has an open ear. I couldn’t imagine a better Tour Guide. I would highly recommend his tour and would love to have him on another trip.
Ramona R
The Best Tour Guide
Ofer is a great tour guide! My husband and I have already experienced Ofer twice as a guide for a group (30-40 people) and he does it wonderfully. He has a great deal of knowledge, which he is able to pass on pleasantly. He manages to create a relaxed, happy and friendly group atmosphere within a short time. On the last trip in April 2023, my husband and I were the group leaders and were incredibly grateful for Ofer’s great commitment as tour guide, who took on a lot of organizational work in addition to the individual tours. So a big recommendation from us.
Debora S
Interesting, Entertaining And Humorous
It was an interesting, entertaining and humorous tour with Ofer Moghadam through the Holy Sites of Jerusalem. Always maintaining his composure and keeping a careful eye on natural needs and obstacles, Ofer guided the group through Jerusalem and the whole of Israel with a broad knowledge of history and background. There are still many positive things to report. It would be best if you personally checked the truth of this assessment. Five stars!
Florian T

I cannot imagine that there is a better guide in Israel who can illustrate his country, its history, the present and the religions as well as Ofer. Thank you very much for your patience, no question remained unanswered. A professional guide with lots of charm, I will gladly travel with him again anytime!
Stephan K
Incredible Jerusalem with Ofer
We booked a Jerusalem tour with Ofer with our children (aged 15 and 17). A truly extraordinary and impressive experience. If there is any way to understand Jerusalem, then Ofer is the right guide for it. History, the different religions and the current developments in this incredible city – Ofer explains everything in an impressive and very informative way. He leaves enough space for any kind of questions. We were on the road for almost 12 hours and it was never boring and nowhere near enough. Even our two teenagers were surprisingly interested and enthusiastic. We can recommend Ofer without reservation and we look forward to booking another tour with him on our next visit. Many thanks to Ofer. Even after our return to Germany, all the impressions still linger.

Ulrike H
Faithful Companion Through Israel
Whether on the Golan Heights, at the Dead Sea, in Jerusalem, during the bus rides or at the end during our adventurous overnight stay at the airport – Ofer accompanied us until the end with full commitment and had a story and a tip ready for every occasion. He eloquently led us on a journey through the history of the Holy Land, honestly, movingly and without embellishment. Dear Ofer, thank God for your gift of storytelling, your attentive nature and your heart for this beautiful country and its people. Through you, we were able to get to know thousands of facets of Israel during these days, as well as see our Messiah, Jesus, in the places where he worked two thousand years ago from a refreshingly Jewish perspective. Always thinking of the well-being of our travel group, you were so flexible, also with regard to the program, and you constantly made contact with the local people, which made for unique encounters.

Ofer Moghadam – Best Forever!
We can definitely recommend Ofer Moghadam. Our tour group received so much information that we could hardly keep up. Ofer knows the country and the people and is helpful everywhere! In emergency situations (we had a lot of rain in the desert!!), due to which the program had to be changed, Ofer found good solutions! He also knew where to find the toilets for each of the visits. So the fears of some were quickly put to rest!
Ofer sees his job as a vocation and lives it!

Fun Israel Trip
Thank you for making our first trip to Israel colorful, knowledgeable, fun and full of good memories. Looking forward to seeing you again on our next trip to your beautiful country with our families.
Nancy C
Great Israel Experience
Ofer was an amazing Tour Guide. During the almost two weeks across the country it was always exciting, well planned and insightful. In my opinion, experiencing Israel without a great Tour Guide will put you in a position were you’ll miss out a lot. Why Ofer is a great choice is because of three main reasons: 1. His knowledge about almost every topic related to Israel is astonishing. In combination with his great story telling skills every information is like a little thrilling movie. 2. His people skills are very impressive and it is a lot of fun to spend time with him. He taught the group some Hebrew words and was always up for the personal needs of the individual without losing the view for the group. 3. Due to his great experience he has an impressive skill in logistics. But find out for yourself and discover the awesome country of Israel with a local who knows the German, American and Israeli way of life!

Amazing Guide
I went on a tour of Israel with Gate 1, and our tour guide was Ofer Moghadam. He was an amazing guide, and I cannot commend him enough! Ofer was incredibly knowledgeable and entertained with stories about history, religion, culture, and day-to-day life in Israel. Our group was large with over 40 people which is no easy feat, but he handled all logistics, requests, and questions with ease and a seemingly inexhaustible positive attitude. He was always professional, kind, patient, and his endearing charm shone throughout the trip. Ofer made our Israeli experience fantastic!
Isabel G

I really can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful trip.

I’m going home with a wealth of information, all thanks to you! Thank you also for being such a wonderful person. I always enjoyed our conversations and your truthful insights. You really are a super guide. I hope you make your movie one day – I’d certainly watch it. If you are ever in my neck of the woods in the US, come visit! Thanks again! Much love.

Excellent
As a large group of over 40 people, we spent 10 days in Israel with Ofer and had a great and exciting time. Ofer told us about the area, the sights and the history of Israel in a very informative and interesting way. He is an outstanding, committed guide with a very open, positive and people-oriented manner. He is humorous, patient, friendly and always entertaining. I would be happy to travel with him again at any time and can therefore highly recommend him as a guide to everyone.

Visit To Masada And The Dead Sea With Ofer
Ofer took us to Masada and to the Dead Sea. Both places were great and full of excitement. Best of all was Ofer’s enthusiasm, knowledge and openness. We are Scandinavians and to say the least we don’t really understand the complexity of the political situation in Israel. Ofer was able to describe the current situation and put it in a historic perspective. We really appreciated the way Ofer connected with us and made this an unforgettable day.

Fabulous And Life Enhancing Trip
We toured Israel as part of a small group in October. What a fabulous and life enhancing trip it was! We credit much of that to our amazing tour guide Ofer Moghadam. He really pulled the history, religion and politics together to give us a complete picture of the draw and complexity of the country. His knowledge is phenomenal, his sense of humor is strong, his delivery engaging and his demeanor both professional and relaxed. He is the best of the best.
Cathy N
Fabulous Trip
History came alive, only spent 16 days traveling. Not enough time to see it all. Ofer was a magnificent tour guide. He was knowledgeable in all areas. From history to current events he educated our group of 13. He made sure we saw it all, even found time to take us to places not on our itinerary. I have been on other trips and by far I must say Ofer was the best of the best. Not only would I recommend him to anyone, but on my return to Israel in the future I am sure to hire him again.
Debbie S
Wonderful Experience In Israel
Thank you for a wonderful experience of Israel. You have made it come alive for me again. Your technique is one to be a model for all trip experience leaders: Giving detail, relating the information as we go along, finding new avenues to get different perspectives. You do all of this with grace, charm and respect. I can’t think of a single area where you didn’t perform with excellence. I wish you much luck in all that your future holds for you. If you are ever in the Philadelphia area, you are always welcome in my home. All the best.

Schedule Ofer As Your Guide In Israel
Ofer guided us and 11 others through Israel for 13 days. He gently and professionally kept our group organized as we visited all of the major points of interest from the Israeli border with Lebanon in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. We stayed in Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as well as a Kibbutz on the Golan Heights. We used those cities and the Kibbutz as jumping off points to explore Israel’s interesting and complicated history from ancient times to the present day. Ofer was extremely knowledgeable about all things Israel! One of Ofer’s unique strong points is his ability to approach a wide variety of people to interview as we traveled. We were able to meet and interact with people as diverse as an Israeli soldier on guard duty at the Lebanese border, to a holocaust survivor, to West Bank Palestinians, to a young Druze woman, to high school students who are completing their studies and preparing to start their military service. We highly recommend Ofer as a tour guide.
Jon R
Lots Of Knowledge
Thanks so much for all your great guiding this week and your care. I wish you all the best. You have a lot of knowledge about the culture, politics and religion. It’s a great “ministry” to share your gifts with so many travelers. Be safe and well and have lots of fun.
Katherine M
Lucky To Have Ofer As My Guide
I can’t thank you enough for making my first trip to Israel so special and enlightening. While this is my fifth trip with OAT and every leader has been amazing, none can compare with you. You guided us and instructed us on everything Israel. Your command of your subject is amazing. But what really sets you apart is how you take care of your group. Throughout the trip you made sure we were happy & well taken care of.

Ofer Is Unique And Amazing!

It Was An Awesome Trip
Overseas Adventure Tour to Israel was excellent. Our fantastic tour leader, Ofer, went above and beyond to make the trip an enriching and memorable experience. His knowledge of the country, history of the region, and personal experience made the tour come alive. The itinerary was full everyday – awe inspiring ancient and holy sites. Ofer made sure we were following his educational discussions and he always answered our questions. He also showed a lot of passion for the areas we visited. It was an awesome trip.

Ronny S
Went Above And Beyond His Duties
Ofer really went above and beyond his duties as tour guide to be sure that everyone had a great time. His knowledge of Israel and its many facets of religion, culture, history, and even cuisine, was impressive. He speaks English extremely well, as he lived in the USA for a number of years. Everything ran smoothly, and he handled all areas of the tour extremely well. His humor and his personality were fun to be around … bonus! I have no hesitancy recommending Ofer to anyone, but especially friends and family. Enjoy your visit to Israel, it’s an amazing country!

Awesome Private Tour With Ofer
Ofer was ABSOLUTELY awesome. From start to finish it was such a positive and fun experience having a private tour with Ofer. He is highly recommended to anyone looking to see the Old City of Jerusalem on a short schedule. Not only was Ofer flexible to our changing schedule but he has such vast knowledge of the history, politics, geography and much more of Jerusalem. For me as a local it was great to see old Jerusalem this way, a truely unique experience.

A Great Experience In Israel With Ofer
We had an absolutely great time going all around Israel with Ofer. I’d give him more stars if I could. He made sure we covered as many aspects of Israeli religions, cultures, historical places, politics, art, neighborhoods, even food and more than I can even name here. And, he was always fun, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. I would rate him right up there with the best and will be recommending him to my family and friends to be sure they have as wonderful an experience in Israel as I did.
Julia K
Inspiring Patriotism
Thank you so much for your excellent guiding of the group. Your patriotism is inspiring. I admire your ability to also see shortcomings. I wish you health & happiness always.

Jerusalem For Kids And Adults
A day with Ofer through his city Jerusalem! It was a wonderful day where Ofer managed to cater to the needs of us adults and our sons, 8 & 9 years old. It’s not easy to keep two children happy on a 9 hour tour! Ofer made it wonderfully warm, funny and interesting! We learned a lot about the history of Israel and finally really understood the context. In between we had ice cream, falafel, crêpe and coffee breaks. Our afternoon walk together through the ultra-orthodox Jewish quarter was impressive – a leap back in time! Ofer showed us this culture with much sensitivity! We can wholeheartedly recommend Ofer, he is simply the best!
Katharina W
Wonderful Learning And Discovery
Thank you so much for making this trip a wonderful learning and discovery experience. God willing I will again return to this fabulous country of Israel.

Ofer The Great
Ofer is the best of the best when it comes to Tour Guides! He knows all the best places in Israel, and will make sure to show you an awesome time in the country. He goes above and beyond and bends over backwards for each person in his tour group. He truly wants to make sure that you have the best experience possible! 11/10 stars for Ofer! Definitely would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an in depth and amazing tour of Israel.
Natasha N
Great Host And Wonderful Guide
Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for being such a great host and a wonderful Tour Guide. You and this trip to Israel will be etched in our memories forever.
Sonia A
Highly Recommended
Ofer was an incredible guide. Rarely I have been so engaged from a Tour Guide like I was with Ofer, I highly recommend him. The best mix of culture, history and religion, he is incredibly knowledgeable and kept us entertained while doing it.
Suzana
My Love For Israel Has Grown
I have been to Israel several times, but Ofer was absolutely the best tour guide of all. I was fascinated by his knowledge of history, politics and Judaism. As a person, he is characterized by a great empathy with which he accepted and lovingly guided the group. The trip was very varied thanks to his personal commitment and creativity.
Annelie S
Five Stars All The Way
Ofer is a fantastic and very accomodating tour guide. We would give more stars, but five is the limit here, so five full stars it is then. Between religious sites, food quests (he was really patient with my search for the best Knafeh and spices), political and non-political discussions in Denglish (because why not!), historical lessons, and humour that had us laughing and time flying, we really couldn’t ask for more. It’s a whole day of exploring and walking, so wear something comfortable, and come with an open mind. Also, don’t be scared to ask for falafel refills and the search for knafeh and halva if you’re into sweets. So when in Jerusalem, book Ofer’s tour offer (hah!). It’s a treasure trove of information, fun, and memories to be made.
Denise K
Ofers Profession Is His Vocation
This is the second time I’ve been on the road with Ofer. This time with a small family group of seven people. It was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. After we had planned this trip together via Zoom, the anticipation was already huge. Ofer has an enormous amount of knowledge, is responsive to each individual, tailors the trip precisely to the wishes of the group, is flexible and humorous. You can tell that he is a Tour Guide with heart and soul. His job is his vocation. I hope that I can experience a few more trips to Israel with Ofer as my tour guide!
Henrike S
Individually Planned Trip To Israel
With our group of 7 travelers (18 – 75 years old), we went on a 9-day trip to Israel that was individually planned with Ofer Moghadam. Our goal was to get an understanding and feeling for Israel and its history, for the Jewish, Christian and Muslim sites, but also to experience nature. The trip took us from Tel Aviv to Jaffa, from there to Tiberias, the Sea of Galilee, the Golan Heights, Nazareth, the West Bank, Jericho, the Dead Sea and Jerusalem. We found Ofer to be an extremely competent tour guide, a careful chauffeur and a reliable, humorous friend. It would be difficult to find a better tour guide. We can only confirm the extremely positive feedback from others from the bottom of our hearts. If we visit Israel again, then only with him.
Thomas K
Exciting And Entertaining
Ofer’s stories were often very exciting and entertaining, he pointed out interesting contexts and closed thematic arcs. It was very interesting to listen to him. I discovered some new connections through him. He is particularly knowledgeable about history and politics. He knows how to convey his stories in a profound and philosophical way, so that the listener is drawn into the story. On a personal level, he was also able to connect the individual people in our large group and create a cheerful and warm-hearted atmosphere.
Daniela R
Rating: Recommendable And Valuable
Ofer is the best tour guide we have ever had. He is not only very well versed in languages (German, English, Hebrew, Swabian), but also brings you closer to the country, its people, politics, culture and much more, and he does it in a humorous and exciting way. Why? Because he can do it … and he does it really well! He is honest and has fantastic ideas and a tremendous range of knowledge.
Dorothee H
Gladly Again Anytime
We spent a whole week on the road with Ofer as a group of 48 people. Ofer solved all major and minor problems for each person and brought us closer to his country with a lot of passion, charm and humor. We would love to visit Israel with him once more.
Gudrun L
Excellent Tour With Ofer
We went on a tour of beautiful Israel with Ofer at the beginning of March 2022.
He did a fantastic job of passing on his knowledge of archaeology, the Torah and the people of Israel. I will book Ofer again for my next trip to Israel.
Hadassa R
Top Guide
Ofer puts his heart and soul into his work, knows his way around and is funny, relaxed and authentic. Top Guide.
Joachim D
Spiritual Journey Through The Holy Land
Ofer is a very warm and open Tour Guide who showed me Israel from various angles. I was very impressed by his helpfulness and spiritual background, and his stories are so vivid that you can imagine them. The biblical stories are comprehensible and walking in the footsteps of God and Jesus is an unforgettable experience thanks to OFER. I would love to come back to Israel and you are our travel guide. God bless you, dear Ofer.
Jürgen K
Unique Tour With A Unique Guide
Ofer knows, like nobody else, to give the best information and complete extensive explanations, without beeing boring at any time. He speaks perfect Englisch, German and Hebrew and can also communicate in Arabic. As I’m from Germany I hope my knowledge of the Englisch language is good enough to express my enthusiasm for this unique Tour Guide. But I want to say to all people, not only to Germans: Ofer is the best guide you can imagine.
Manny M
Wonderful Time in Israel
Ofer is the best tour guide of all time! With his friendly manner, he brought Israel closer to us. I would have loved to stay in Israel because it was so beautiful! Thank you, dear Ofer!
Michaela B
Impressive
Ofer led our tour group excellently, told captivating stories, and explained the most important facts. He was always friendly and courteous. It was a very impressive trip, and Ofer contributed much to its success.
Sabine R
Individually Designed Tour
Ofer gave us a comprehensive overview of Jerusalem. He even planned the journey from our hotel in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem for us. We spent an entire day exploring the holy city on foot, gained great insights, and learned interesting background information from a very friendly guide. I would highly recommend Ofer to my friends if they plan to take a tour in Jerusalem!
Silke W
Get To Know The Real Israel
Ofer brought us very close to Israel with his great knowledge and experience. We learned to see the country and its issues from a different perspective. He welcomed us as a tour guide, but we left him as a friend.
Thomas S
Great Tour Guide for Jerusalem & Israel
Ofer picked me and my son up at the hostel in March 2022 at 9:00 in the morning and guided us through Jerusalem for a remarkable 11 hours. Ofer is a super nice guy with an apparently inexhaustible wealth of knowledge about Israel, Jerusalem, Judaism, the life of Christ, and everything related. The tour went from Jaffa Street to the Old City, by bus to the Mount of Olives, and then back on foot to the Old City, along the Via Dolorosa, to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, to the Western Wall, and back to the hotel. Ofer carefully intertwined the threads of history with the places we visited, so that we gradually learned why Jerusalem is such a special place where the events of the last few thousand years are so tangible. In between, there was plenty of time for hummus, coffee, and tea in an Arab shisha lounge. I can wholeheartedly recommend a tour with Ofer to anyone. As far as I know, he also offers tours throughout Israel, and I can imagine that those would be very exciting as well.
Thomas W
A Superior And Exciting Tour
Ofer can present well-founded facts, backgrounds, and current events in his contributions. He does it confidently and engagingly. It is never tiring or uninspired. He has broadened my personal horizons and inspired me about the land of Israel.
Birgit T
Informative And Exciting
The tour with Ofer M. has broadened my perspective on the historical, political, and religious backgrounds of this melting pot of cultures and the various challenges that are inherent in Israel. As Tour Guide, Ofer stood out for his expertise, credibility, and passion for his profession. He quickly became a dear friend to the 50 people in the group and was never too shy to help. He sparked a love for this beautiful country in many, for which he himself is totally enthusiastic. Simply fantastic!
Jan-Peter G
Looking Under The Rug Of Israel
A great person, a great tour, patient, objective explanations, lots of fun and tired feet in the evening. Thank you Ofer, we enjoyed the tour and will carry the day in our hearts for a long time.
Kai L
Awesome Tour Of Jerusalem
Ofer was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We did a virtual tour with him and we had a great experience. A great guide for Jerusalem!
Joseph C
Good Tour Guide … Even If It’s Virtual
We did a virtual tour of Israel with Ofer and it was a blast! It really felt like we were in the place. He knew a lot about the history and information on the places we went to. Highly recommended!
Margaux C
The Best Guide One Can Get
We took a day tour of Jerusalem with Ofer. Within 10 input-rich hours, he introduced us to the history of the city and its special places. He also responded tour our wishes and preferences, so that our experience was perfectly coordinated. The way he told the story was so good, that a lot of things really stayed in our minds. Even for young people (were between 21 and 26) it was amazing.
Merle K
Unforgettable Time In Jerusalem
During an excursion organized by the Heidelberg University of Education, I spent two days in Jerusalem with my group. During this time, we were accompanied and guided through the city by Ofer. The trip was unforgettable and beautiful, thanks in no small part to Ofer. In these (short) two days, he showed us a lot of Jerusalem and provided us with even more knowledge about the land and its people. The tour was interesting from the very beginning and never boring. We asked Ofer many questions, and he always had the answers ready. Ofer is a very likable, patient, flexible, and above all, competent tour guide, making it a joy to explore the city with him! I highly recommend a trip with Ofer. Thank you very much!
Elena W
I Can Totally Recommend Ofer
Ofer is a very friendly guy who knows what he’s talking about and with the talent to offer a bright insight into the Jerusalem society in a very short time. I’ve never had such a competent and sympathetic Tour Guide.
Elvira F
A Perfect Day In Jerusalem
We had a perfect day with Ofer in Jerusalem. Ofer is enthusiastic, open-minded, warm-hearted, helpful, and flexible. He is very knowledgeable about history and can also discuss all aspects of life in Israel.
Inge K
Thank You For Two Wonderful Touring Days
Ofer is a Tour Guide who is passionate about his job. He exudes incredible positive energy, no matter how full the schedule or how long the day. He takes an interest in everyone in the group, responds to requests, and offers tours in the Old City of Jerusalem that combine well-founded historical, political, and geographical knowledge with personal anecdotes, tasting stations, insider tips, and much more. You can ask him anything — we, a group of teachers-in-training, bombarded him with questions, and Ofer always had a nuanced and humorous answer ready. Thank you for these two wonderful days!
Julie K
Impressive 48 Hours In Jerusalem
Ofer is unlike any guide that I have ever experienced before. You can tell that he loves what he does. He showed us Jerusalem in two days, and it was a great mix of culture, history, and insights into the lives and thoughts of the people. He is extremely open in a humorous way and responds to all of his travelers’ wishes. Ofer explains things very authentically and manages to convey a tremendous amount of information in a short time, for which I am truly grateful. It doesn’t feel like you have a guide in front of you, but rather as if an old friend is showing you the city. Moreover, he is incredibly helpful and assisted a fellow traveler in an unusual situation without being asked (thanks again for that, Ofer!). I can wholeheartedly recommend Ofer to anyone!
Patrick G
A Warm-Hearted And Competent Guide
I had the honor of experiencing Jerusalem for two days with Ofer as part of a study trip. He is very warm-hearted, humorous, and above all, a highly competent guide. He shows you corners off the beaten path (e.g., a breathtaking view of the city from the rooftops of the Suq) and responds to the individual wishes of the travelers. It is definitely worth paying attention to his insider tips for shopping; you won’t be taken advantage of there. I can recommend Ofer as a guide to anyone who wants to experience Jerusalem and the culture of the country authentically.
Petra G
Unforgettable Journey
We had an impressive and unforgettable two-day tour with Ofer in Jerusalem, who is an incredibly knowledgeable, nuanced, flexible, and also wonderfully kind guide. We will definitely repeat the trip with more time and will have Ofer accompany us again.
Stefan R
The Perfect Guide
Ofer is an outstanding guide! Unlike any other Tour Guide, Ofer understands how to bring you closer to the history, culture and everyday life in Israel without overwhelming you with unnecessary information or neglecting personal needs. During our tour of Yad Vashem and Jerusalem, I could always turn to Ofer with my new impressions, and he always had some funny, interesting information to share. Overall, the tours with Ofer felt like an exciting stroll through Jerusalem, providing the opportunity to get an authentic impression of the city while also learning many fascinating things along the way. You quickly notice that Ofer enjoys his work and loves showing people Israel and sharing its culture without being intrusive. He is very open-minded, helpful, and flexible—you can approach him with any concerns or questions! All in all, I am very grateful to Ofer for the wonderful companionship during our journey and tour through Jerusalem! I can only recommend reaching out to Ofer for a tour.
Lukas P
Unbelievable Israel Tour With Ofer
Ofer is a wonderful person and an excellent Tour Guide. My wife and I planned a tour in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem with him. Ofer reached out to me beforehand and helped plan the tours. He had many ideas, and I discussed our wishes with him. Together, we created a fantastic and personalized program for both cities. Ofer was so kind that we even had the opportunity to visit Bethlehem and explore the sights there with a local lady. There were countless sightseeing highlights in all the cities, too many to list individually. It should be noted that we still think fondly of the trip and look at pictures. For my wife and me, it was one of the most beautiful trips we have taken. Once again, a heartfelt thank you to Ofer. It truly was a very special time.

We say thank you so much, Ofer, and we will see each other again.

54 Christian men made Ofer enter the bus skeptically at first … but then it became a first-rate journey from day one, thanks to him and his bus driver Mahmoud. Thank you, anytime again!

Impressive Knowledge Of the Bible
You have guided us through the Holy Land with much passion, knowledge and a big heart. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, even though the program was packed quite tighly. Your knowledge of the Bible impressed us immensely. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this special time and we hope to see you again. In summary, there is only one thing left to say: It was Sababa.

Super Time With Ofer in Israel
We had a super time with Ofer in Israel! Learned a lot about the land and its history by way of the Bible. Thank you so much and God’s blessing to you.

We Will Be Back
We were in the Holy Land during Easter/Passover with the best Tour Guide in the world. What can I say? Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ofer managed to plant a love for this land in the hearts of the participants, which will probably lead to all of us not visiting this country for the last time. Your friendly and open manner is truly refreshing. Thank you for taking care of our children; my daughter cried bitterly when you walked away from us at the airport. It’s incredible how such a deep relationship can form in just one week that it truly hurts when you part ways. I wish you all the very best for your future and God’s blessings—stay as you are and keep turning the people who visit your beloved Israel into friends of the land and into your personal friends.

The King Of The Day
We experienced a magnificent tour with Ofer. This turned into a day, which we will remember for the rest of our lives, a day with a lot of added value. He didn’t only bring us closer to Israel’s history, he also gave us an unforgettable insight into the culture and the life of this country with a thousand facets. You can sense his passion for his job and his personal commitment at any minute, regardless of whether you crave Falafel or pomegranate juice, or whether you want to buy souvenirs or need to use the toilets – he always has the right solution for everything. If you are looking for a tour with much cordiality, engagement and commitment with a guide who transmits his knowledge of figures, history and culture in a gripping manner, OFER is the right person. The king of the day – OFER!

We just had an unforgettable day tour in the Old City of Jerusalem with Ofer. All of us, kids and adults, learned a lot and had a great time, listening to his wonderful stories and discovering together hidden gems in the small alleys of the city. Thank you Ofer!

Ofer accompanied us on a 14-day tour through Israel. He impressed the whole group with his friendly, courteous and competent manner.

Thank you so much for showing me your Israel. I especially enjoyed the drive out to Masada, the landscape was beautiful and it was interesting to hear the history. I am glad we ended up going to the Temple Mount. I hope you will automatically include it in your future trips. You had quite a bit of patience for this first Grand Circle. I am sure you learned a lot. You also went out of your way to accommodate and get things for various travelers, I hope they appreciated your efforts. I wish you much luck with your guiding and hope for the countries we have visited that they will resolve issues and have peace.

Ofer Deepened Our Love For Israel
Touring Israel with Ofer is an experience not to be missed! He guided our group of 27 people for 3 days through the Galilee, Haifa and Tel Aviv. His sense of humour and rich knowledge of history, geography and political circumstances helped us gain a deeper understanding of the land and its people. He always keeps his calm and steers through difficult circumstances (like when our bus broke in Muhraka) with charm and confidence. I can highly recommend touring with Ofer! Thank you Ofer, for all you shared with us and for deepening our love for your beautiful country, Israel!

Unique Insight Into Israel
Ofer is an absolute gem of a guide – not only knowledgable, professional and patient, but above all good-humoured, flexible and genuinely passionate about what he does! We truly enjoyed our two days exploring Jerusalem with him, and would thoroughly recommend his guiding services for inquisitive travellers seeking a unique insight into Israel. Grazie from us all!

An Ofer You Cannot Refuse
Travelling through Israel with Ofer was a pleasure. He’s informative, friendly, courteous, patient, witty and great fun to travel with. His knowledge of the country’s cultural and political history runs deep and as a travel writer, I would always throw random questions at him and he would always have an answer. If by rare chance, it was something he didn’t know, he would find out and let me know later. From Haifa, Acre, Safed, Rosh Hanikra, Tiberias, Dead Sea, Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, it was great having someone dependable and rock solid to guide you through. Being an avid foodie, the hunt for the best hummus and other local delights with a fellow food lover was even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Ofer Moghadam to anyone looking for an immersive experience of Israel. It’s simply an Ofer you cannot refuse … Shalom!
Anurag M
Ofer Keeps You Entertained With Stories
Ofer was our guide for a few days during a recent trip to Israel, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Of course, he knows his stuff thoroughly and keeps you entertained with stories about the places you visit with him. But apart from that, what I enjoyed is that Ofer is willing to get into a rational discussion about the culture and politics of his extremely fascinating country. Throw in a quirky sense of humor and an endless love for food – you have a winner here! Ofer, hope I have the chance to host you in India some time soon.

Memorable Days with Ofer
Our family spent two days seeing Jerusalem with Ofer as our guide in late June. Without a doubt they were the two best, most memorable days of our trip! Ofer is incredibly knowledgeable and offered us wonderful and interesting facts about Israel’s and Jerusalem’s history. His explanations were detailed but to the point and we all learned so much. Our kids are 15, 12 and 8 and they loved every minute as much as my husband and I did. Ofer is adventurous, has a great sense of humor and is lots of fun to be with! He instantly formed meaningful connections with each one of us. My kids still talk about him and were genuinely sad when the two days with him were over. We covered a lot of ground during our time together and Ofer was kind, patient, flexible, and catered to all our requests adjusting the itinerary as necessary spending long hours with us on both days! We highly recommend Ofer for your touring needs! He is the best and you’ll love every minute with him like we did! We hope to return to Israel in the near future and have the privilege of having him guide us again.

Unforgettable Trip To Israel With Ofer
Ofer guided my Taglit colleagues and me through our 10-day trip to Israel and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. Apart from being incredibly knowledgeable about the country of Israel and all the sights/sites, he did a great job of integrating with our group, being funny and finding the perfect balance between strict and relaxed. I would recommend Ofer as a tour guide to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable trip! I will never forget this trip.

Best Choice For Jerusalem Guide
Ofer is a wonderful guide and on top of it a great and funny guy to be with! We booked him for Jerusalem and I am 100% sure he is the best choice for experiencing the city and its places in an amazing way. He knows pretty much everything about the city, its history, the people and their culture and you can also ask him everything else about Israel or even drift into other interesting topics before coming back to the city.

One Of A Kind Service
We approached Ofer with a difficult task: To organize a trip to Israel for a group of 25 Austrians from my husband’s family who had never been to Israel. From the first conversation to the last moment of the trip, Ofer conducted himself in a super professional manner, took care of every little detail and did everything to make the trip perfect. And he did all of this with a positive attitude, a huge smile and an endless desire to help. Our guests did not stop praising the trip, his guidance, the hotels he chose for them, and it sounds like they just enjoyed being in his company so much. On behalf of the whole group, a big thank you Ofer for organizing and guiding a perfect visit to Israel for people who are important to us. We are so lucky to have chosen you. Next time we will ask you to guide our relatives from the USA. Thanks again from me, Hans-Jürgen and all the friends and family from Austria.

An Incredibly Great Vacation
I can’t imagine a better guide than Ofer. I have never seen and learned so much in eleven days as on this magical vacation! From culture and history in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, Jericho, Akko and Haifa, nature at the Dead Sea and in the desert (remote places, e.g. Lido Beach, Judean Desert, beautiful viewpoints), religious sights with exciting details and sun, beach and good food in Tel Aviv. And everything always sprinkled with special stories and myths. Dear Ofer, thank you very much for this incredibly great vacation!

Highly Recommended As Tour Guide
Me and my family spent two days together with Ofer in Jerusalem. From the beginning it was a really warm and familar atmosphere. He showed us very interesting places and gave us detailed information. Till now I travelled different countries with different guides – but Ofer was the best I ever have chosen. His tours are very individual – consequently depending on your own interests. I recommend Ofer to everybody who likes to visit Israel. Thank you for everything.

The Highlight Of Our Trip
My girlfriend and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a full day tour of Jerusalem with Ofer. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and is one tour that we continue to discuss often even months after the vacation. Ofer’s fantastic individual attention was even better than we expected. Not only is he familiar with the local history, but everybody knew him everywhere we went! Thanks, Ofer!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
Ofer is so nice and kind and knowledgeable! We walked through Jaffe Gate as a start, taking a cab to Mountain Olive, then walking the whole down back to the city. He literally saved me from the airport. I landed at 4 AM in the morning and booked a car to Jerusalem. When I walked out of the gate, only to find no one was waiting to pick me up! The agency I used didn’t even leave me a cellphone number. However, they gave me Ofer’s number, who was woken up by me and guided me to the agent. It was the most eye-opening tour experience in my life. I’d like to say to Ofer: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A Stellar Guide
Ofer recently escorted me through the Old City of Jerusalem and I have to say, it was was an absolute pleasure. Ofer is a stellar guide with an amazing ability to combine humor, intellect, and insight.

It was a great day, and I would easily recommend Ofer to anyone looking to travel in Israel.

Supremely Knowledgeable Guide
Ofer is fantastic. I was interested in a tour of Jerusalem – he had a thorough itinerary planned, made sure we hit all of my must-see sites, and managed timing so well that the day went perfectly. He’s supremely knowledgeable (he’s like a walking textbook), and tailored the day to my interests. I normally avoid tours, but Ofer showed me hidden gems in Jerusalem I would never have found on my own, even if I had weeks in the city. Highly recommend to anyone!
Kensie K
A wonderful Tour Guide
Ofer is a wonderful tour guide. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable but he is also very passionate in his presentation. Ofer’s tours are always interactive and he really encourages you to participate, which takes the tour to another level. Ofer also has a plethora of great factoids, which always stick with you long after the tour (think sarcophagus water fountains.) I highly recommend touring with Ofer, you will not be disappointed.

A Wonderful Tour Throughout Jerusalem
Ofer exceeded my expectations as a tour guide and provided me with a wonderful tour throughout Jerusalem. Ofer is extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job at relaying information.

I highly recommend Ofer if you’re looking to have a pleasurable experience touring the great country that is Israel.
